    ● Trade Restrictions and Policies:


    Export bans and tariffs on food
    commodities restrict supply and
    increase prices. For Example: India's
    rice export ban in 2022 led to global
    price hikes. (WTO) 2022.
    ● Growing Demands on Agriculture:
    Food vs Biofuel

    Reasons for Global Food Insecurity:

    ● Conflict and War: Wars disrupt


    supply chains. For Example: Russia
    Ukraine War
    ● Economic Instability: High inflation
    and unemployment increase food
    prices - reduce purchasing power.
    For Example: In 2022, food prices rose
    by 20-30% globally due to inflation ,
    Supply chain issues. (World Bank,
    2023)
    ● Population Growth: Rapidly growing
    populations increase demand for
    food, putting strain on existing
    resources. For Example: The global
    population- 9.7 billion by 2050.
    (United Nations Population Division,
    2022).
    ● Poor Infrastructure: Lack of proper
    storage, transportation, processing
    infrastructure leads to food waste. For
    Example: In sub-Saharan Africa, up
    to 40% of food is lost post-harvest
    due to inadequate infrastructure.
    (FAO, 2023).
